Join us for a weekend full of shape note singing in Northwest Arkansas! Friday, October 23rd we will host our regular monthly singing from 5:30 PM to 8 PM at the Friends of the West Fork Library Hall.
The following morning we will meet at the same location for our annual Fall All Day!
Registration is at 9 AM, with singing beginning at 9:30.
Enjoy dinner on the grounds at noon; we encourage all who are able to bring a dish!
We will conclude late afternoon, and join together again on Sunday for a morning of porch singing at a local singers home. Details to be announced at the singing on Saturday!
For over 200 years, folks have been practicing shape-note singing as a way of worship & participatory community practice. While Sacred Harp songs are generally nonsecular in lyrical content, there is no specific religious practice endorsed by this community. Everyone, regardless of musical experience or religious background, is welcome! Loaner books are available for folks who do not have their own.
